Self-Monitoring scores were significantly influenced by the social context that respondents considered while completing it. Normal distributions were generated within testing conditions. Bimodal distributions were generally found across testing conditions and within a no context specified condition, suggesting item ambiguity might be leading to the scale’s class variable interpretation.
Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...
The legality of wood products in trade often depends on their geographic origin, creating a need for forensic tools that can verify claims of provenance for wood and wood products. Cedrela odorata L. or Spanish cedar is a target of illegal logging. We developed a 140 SNP Agena™ MassARRAY® assay...
This dataset is available as supplement for a research article submitted in 2018 and accepted in 2019. Genomic resources for the Neotropical tree genus Cedrela (Meliaceae) and its relatives. By Kristen N. Finch, B.A.; F. Andrew Jones, Ph.D.; Richard Cronn, Ph.D.
Tree species in the genus Cedrela are threatened by...
White and grand fir are both valuable components of the mixed-conifer stand structure managed for late-successional reserves in central Oregon. However, they are often short-lived species because of high susceptibility to root diseases, defoliating insects, bark beetles, and wildfire. This study focuses on the effects of root diseases caused by...
Iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) are essential cofactors for microbial metalloenzymes, but little is known about the metalloenyzme inventory of anaerobic marine microbial communities despite their importance to the nitrogen cycle. We compared dissolved O₂ , NO₃⁻, NO₂⁻, Fe and Cu concentrations with nucleic acid sequences encoding Fe and Cu-binding...
The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes,
particularly in the areas more affected by urban and agricultural development. A landscape management
framework that incorporates all systems, across the spectrum of degrees of alteration, provides a fuller set of
options for how and when to...
Background: Having conquered water surfaces worldwide, the semi-aquatic bugs occupy ponds, streams, lakes, mangroves, and even open oceans. The diversity of this group has inspired a range of scientific studies from ecology and evolution to developmental genetics and hydrodynamics of fluid locomotion. However, the lack of a representative water strider...
